The section of Hammond Pond Parkway that runs between Route 9 and Beacon Street is slated for a major renovation. The project aims to make the parkway, which was built in 1934, safer and friendlier for walking, running, and biking.
However, with the new design plan, cars would no longer be able to park along the parkway during Boston College football games.
The renovation will reduce the number of traffic lanes from four to two from near the mall entrance to Beacon Street. This will create enough space for a 12-foot-wide landscaped pathway for pedestrians and bicyclists on the west side of the parkway.
